If only the natural universe exists, and nothing supernatural, then there can be no reason for the universe to exist. It's simply here and we're simply here. There's no reason.
And does it make you uncomfortable, thinking that the universe, in all its immensity, wasn't put here specifically for us, occupying this one small corner of it?
Do you think that discomfort counts as an argument for why it isn't so?
It doesn't make me uncomfortable thinking that the universe wasn't put here just for us. Who knows how many creatures inhabit the universe? Vegamo said he was open to the mystery of the universe and then immediately says except for God, which means to me that he's not open to it. If you're open to all possibilities which have not yet been proven wrong then you wouldn't dismiss God off hand, especially since so many have attested to being aware of his presence. My current opinion is that science is not capable of proving or disproving God since it fails to consider the existence of the supernatural and so he's wasting his time trying to determine why.
